Sun, 2026-01-25 12:00 +0000

If you want to be a racist shopper, knock yourself out, but when Michelle Obama announced that she is inclined to seek out black-owned businesses, my first thought wasn’t that she’s a racist, segregationist stooge playing identity politics.

MACDONALD: “Gay” Overreach Meets Cultural Backlash?

Sat, 2026-01-24 22:00 +0000

Just about everyone I know, and for the progs, libs, and dems who clicked the title, nearly all of them are white, Christian, adults, who couldn’t care less if two guys want to marry each other.

MACDONALD: What Dems Mean By ‘Affordability’ – I Give You Virginia!

Sat, 2026-01-24 12:00 +0000

The Virginia state elections were sold as proof of Republican mid-term doom. The psycho lefties ran on affordability, and voters swept them into power at all levels of state government.
